ALEX SALMOND was grilled by an LBC caller who demanded him to explain Nicola Sturgeon’s “coherent plan” for Scottish independence.

Ms Sturgeon has constantly attempted to undermine Theresa May’s efforts to guide Britain out of the European Union.

The Scot said a Brexit summit in Downing Street between the Prime Minister and devolved leaders had contained no new information and left the Government’s stance “no clearer”.

The two-hour long talks, which Ms Sturgeon branded “feisty”, saw Mrs May and the First Minister clash during a “very frank exchange of views” on October 24.

The First Minister insists she is “not bluffing” about the treat of a re-run of 2014’s Scottish independence vote and It is in the “best interests” of Scotland if the country is forced to accept “hard Brexit” outside the single market.

Can you tell us, is there a coherent plan in plan for Scottish independence?

In retaliation to Mrs Sturgeon’s threats, an LBC caller, known only as Adrian, demanded Mr Salmond describe her own “coherent plan”.

He blasted: “I was just wondering when Nicola Sturgeon Challenged Theresa May of not having a coherent plan for Brexit, can you tell us, is there a coherent plan in plan for Scottish independence?

“I’m quite confused to how there can be when so much uncertainty is out there at this moment in time.”

Mr Salmond replied: “Well, I don’t think you have to wait very long because in the next two or three weeks Nicola Sturgeon will be publishing a plan to what to do in the current situation, where Scotland wanted to stay in the European Union and a referendum across the rest of the country and certainly England was the other way.

“There will be a detailed plan for how Scotland should react in these circumstances – that’s inside knowledge – but I think you’ll find it’s certainly the most comprehensive approach that we’ve seen to date as opposed to the total confusion and chaos that’s raining at Westminster.

“In terms of independence, as Nicola Sturgeon has said, if that plan for that prospect is turned down and Theresa May can’t find it in herself to give a special deal to Scotland but offering a special deal to the car industry, the finance sector – then I think there’ll be an independence referendum in just under two years time.

“For that, unlike the European referendum, we will publish a bit of white paper which will be the prospectus on independence on which people judge.

“I think it’s perfectly legitimate under this new situation for that prospectus to be published and if Nicola Sturgeon’s plan is not accepted.”

The caller rebuked: “That’s just a proposal on what action is going to be taken. How can it be coherent when no negotiation can happen?

“That’s presuming Scotland can just say keep the current deal – do you foresee that Scotland will net benefiter of European benefits should that situation pan out – or do you think you’ll be a net contributor?”

In response, the Scotland added the EU’s laws governing areas like agriculture hold more relevance in Scotland than they do across over parts of the UK.

He continued: “If Scotland had the same level of support as Ireland – a sort of similar land mass for population – we’d get an extra £5billion over the next few years.”
